SexyBlindfold posted:You know, I've been thinking for a while that the one driving force behind Trump's rise to power wasn't even bigotry per se, but just pure unadulterated spite. Don't get me wrong, racism and hatred played a pretty huge part in it, but Trump's support base came to be such a rainbow coalition of overlapping and often contradictory brands of hatred (See: Kirschen / KKKlurf) that it just doesn't seem like it could stand on a leg based on racism alone without tearing itself to pieces on day one. On the other hand, the one promise that Trump can deliver on is "liberal tears". Even the dumbest loving spectator can see that Trump's erratic and vague statements mean he really doesn't stand anywhere on pretty much any issue, but the one constant is that, whatever he does, it makes liberals mad. There's plenty of cartoonists on this thread who, to this day, have barely had a single good thing to say about Trump, but they still fall into line churning out pro-Trump propaganda. The message? "see how mad these libs are". And that's it, that's the Trump platform. In a similar tone, there was this news segment where some smug dipshit gave a petty parting shot to a feminist he was interviewing/debating with about how feminists are easily offended in the form of a playground insult and she demanded to be allowed to respond before they cut her off. This got widely circulated as proof that "haw haw feminists really ARE easily offended!" (and this very "article" smugly posits "way to prove his point!") As opposed to, you know, "making someone angry isn't the same as being proved right". Or even "news interviews should be held to a higher standard than a tepid internet comment section burn". But no, the petty rear end in a top hat is the correct one because he made the other side mad. The fact that "you mad" has become national discourse is easily one of the darkest signs.

It's weird that even in this imagined apocalyptic worst-case-scenario situation Garrison's dreamed up, where the hired employees overtake the company down to fundamental policy (even against US law), that the only negatives he could really come up with were "they'll be expensive", "the store will have a different theme", and "a group of people will be segregated partially". Like you couldn't have coffee brewed with the blood of dead children or something? At least exclude women from the store entirely instead of giving them a second entrance. Also "goat's milk" listed as if it's self-evident to be an indicator of the worst possible future. The horror of it all. And like everyone mentioned let's not pretend Garrison actually gives a gently caress about the homeless. The ultimate concern trolling is when comics like this point out how anti-LGBT Muslim countries are given what Garrison's actual beliefs on women and gays are. And that's not even to mention him pointing out "oh my god they'll introduce segregation" when he's the one who in the same comic wants to segregate a group of people.

Nazis deserve to get beaten up, a good cartoon. Although checking the news it appears a guy was jumped by two people who were in a car. The news is framing it that he was attacked for wearing a MAGA cap, but it also mentions that just incidentally he was one of the organizers for Milo's planned visit.

Oppression, hatred, and bigotry aren't real, stop whining about your made up problems! The only extent to which they actually exist are in the exaggerated, imagined way they affect ME. The only racism that exists is against whites, the only sexism is that which is against men, the only bigotry is against rich republican christians.

I shouldn't be surprised at the amount of people swallowing the line, now touted by the loving President himself, that Milo (sometimes, Spencer too) is just some harmless bright-eyed lover of freedom of speech whose only crime is holding a slightly different opinion, and he's been stomped into the mud by the REAL fascists, college students. The number of BERKELEY KILLED FREE SPEECH comics is loving staggering.

Maybe they're being more sensational, maybe they're pushing a political agenda in how they report, maybe they're getting downright sloppy. Maybe there are totally legitimate reasons to decry it. But I guarantee you, that is not what the term "Fake News" is referring to.

Turns out this is really accurate. I see a George Carlin quote get bandied about all the time, on Facebook, Imgur, places like that. About how "being offended" doesn't automatically make you right. It just means you've been upset about something, it's not a conclusion. There's a "so what" factor there; it has to lead to something more. But so many people run the opposite way with this: that if you're offended, that automatically makes you wrong. Being upset makes you incorrect, and an idiot. It makes you a whiny baby. And the ultimate consequence of this is that you no longer have to prove you're right in an ideological debate, you just have to get the other person mad. And it turns out that's easy to do when you're talking about Nazis. We live in a world where that old "you mad" comeback, hollow and insipid, beaten to death by internet memetics several years ago, is now considered by so much of the Right to be an acceptable method of social discourse. Redpanels has Trump writing "you mad bro???" and considers it a sick loving burn. Pundits point out how upset people are that Trump is overreaching and attacking established facets of the government as proof that he's doing a good thing. Racist grandmas on Facebook look at students furious over neonazis and think the other side must be right. Watterson was wrong: Provoking a reaction is now considered the same as saying something significant.

Snake eyes is what, under a 3% chance? And you figure every time you roll the dice you're saving the life of an individual or even an entire family? I mean those are pretty good odds. If you accept that's what they are -- which they're loving not, but actual terrorist acts by refugees is something that's been well covered already -- then even by Ramirez's own logic it seems prudent to roll the dice, right? I guess it's irrelevant because vetting is already a thing and people need to stop acting like the only alternative to this travel ban is to let people stroll in with no paperwork.

There's so many bills, implying, erroneously, that California owes money (to the rest of the country/fed, I guess?), but also the cats are clearly bringing in lots of their own money, which can go towards the bills. No need to worry.

3 parts per million might sound insignificant, which I assume is Dees's point -- "look how little it takes to destroy minds!" -- but it's really a lot, especially when you're talking about air. I'm not familiar enough with the cartoonist to know if they intend this to be a good or bad thing.

This is the sort of argument you'd see coming from a secular scientist VS an Old-Earth Creationist. If anything he's destroying his own beliefs more than theirs.

Oh my god so many in this latest round of cartoons are just blatant "I KNOW YOU ARE BUT WHAT AM I" it's becoming surreal. Yes, Nazi Klurf, the only people who hate Capitalism are those who imagine themselves in the same positions of power but specifically in a different type of economy/government, for literally no good reason. Yes, Branco, the only people protesting are those vile snipes chasing cash, while everyone on your side is good and healthy and positive. Yes, Lisa, the media are the ones with egg on their face after that glorious interview Trump so tactfully gave. Yes, idiot whose sloppy mspaint-filled signature I can't make out, all "SJWs" are actually snobby upper-class elites living in gated communities, a stereotype I've never even heard before your ridiculous, reaching desperation.
